Former President Barack Obama commemorated the 10th anniversary of his tan suit controversy with a social media post praising Vice President Harris.
He posted side-by-side photos of him wearing his tan suit from 2014 and of Harris wearing her tan suit at the Democratic National Convention last week. This comes 10 years after his decision to wear a tan suit as he spoke about the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and Russia’s intervention in Ukraine sparked an online furor.
“How it started. How it’s going. Ten years later, and it’s still a good look!” Obama wrote in a post on social media platforms X and Instagram. He also shared a link to IWillVote.com, a website paid for by the Democratic National Committee to encourage Americans to check their voter registration status.
Obama’s fashion choice in 2014 went viral, with many social media users posting memes of the ensemble while more serious pundits criticized the tan suit for not being serious enough. Since then, social media users and other politicians have poked fun at the online frenzy Obama’s tan suit caused.
